As the years have passed and I've grown older, I've gradually been unable to feel that effect, but I just can't let it go... A small amount spreads over a wide area, which is good.
ConsThe price of the largest capacity makes one think about whether it is better to receive the treatment.

As the name 'Transparent Essence' suggests, the formula is thin and it's said to prevent dark spots from worsening and brighten the skin, but I'm not sure if it's really that great. I'm just satisfied with having used up one bottle.
ConsI didn't feel the dramatic effect. I'm posting after using up a whole tube, but maybe it would be better if I tried using one more tube.

The absorption is also good. I've been using it for a long time.
ConsThe price is too expensive. As expected, that's why applying it liberally is burdensome.

I've been using this product for over 2 years. While I'm not sure if it truly lives up to its claims of great absorbency and whitening/spot solutions, I haven't noticed my complexion looking particularly dull or problematic, even on tiring days. In the summer, I use it morning and evening, but in the dry winter like now, I only apply it in the mornings. When my skin is unusually dry, I find that layering it twice helps quickly recharge my moisture levels. I've never experienced any stinging or itchiness from using this product. Instead, it seems to help maintain a good moisture balance, which has been beneficial for gradually addressing my discoloration issues. While it doesn't have any major standout functions, the fact that it doesn't trigger any allergic reactions and helps keep my skin healthy is a plus.
ConsThe price is quite disappointing... Except for summer, it seems that additional ampoules or creams will need to be used generously to provide sufficient moisture for dry skin.

It is not sticky and absorbs well, leaving a moisturized feel.
ConsDrawbacks It requires consistent use to be effective. Those who want to see results quickly may be disappointed.
TipAfter cleansing your face and applying toner, apply the Kiehl's Vitamin C Serum. Next, apply the White Essence. Applying them together will enhance the effects. With consistent care, the results will be amazing.

It is not very sticky or high in viscosity, so it can be used without burden. The absorption is quite high, and when applied, you can feel the intense vitamin sensation and a moisturizing effect. It helps alleviate skin tightness, so it can be used alone without layering. My complexion looks radiant, and I have been using it for several cycles. There were no issues with irritation, stinging, or redness during use, so I was able to use it with confidence.
ConsThe viscosity is low, so it flows easily from the hand. Be careful when applying.

Hmm, whether this has any effect or not is ambiguous, but the effects gradually start to come. First, the freckles become lighter!) Even though I spent money on this, there's no way it won't have an effect, so let's look at it with a positive mindset.) Overall, there is a sense that my face is becoming brighter.
ConsYour skin is quite sensitive, but you didn't really have any trouble. If you feel a slight irritation at first, that's actually the case for most products that reduce freckles, so afterwards, apply a generous amount of moisturizer. The most regrettable thing is the price. The beauty market! But I'm the one who keeps spending money on it...
TipJust apply it, let it absorb.

ConsIt's expensive and gets used up quickly. The formula is watery, so it feels like it's used up faster.

However, I find it to have a lot of viscosity and oily feel on my face.
ConsI've been consistently buying the Kiehl's product, and now I have a stockpile of sample sizes, which is a bit tricky to deal with. The reason is that it feels quite sticky, clogs my pores, and causes small bumps, so I'm unsure how to use it properly. As it's also quite oily, I don't think it's suitable to apply on my face. Instead, I've been using it on my arms and the tops of my feet along with the Clearly Cream, but I haven't seen any notable effects, and it just makes my arms and feet feel sticky. It's quite a troublesome situation... It seems like the product is not worth the full-size price at all.

It had great moisture, so I ordered it.
ConsBut why is the actual product so poor? Are they deliberately teasing people with the sample?
